Default Stray Wire Harness

Found a stray wire harness zip tied by my air cleaner. I bought this bike used so I'm not sure what it is or why it's zip tied there. I don't see an obvious location for it and the bike runs fine. I just doubt that it came from the factory like this. Any ideas?

does nothing on US bikes. zip tie it away. it's the active exhaust or something rather lead.

Yep, Cvaria is correct; you can zip-tie it back where you found it and never mess with it.
Post a pic of your whole bike, we need more Dyna pics

And thank God for this thread and not another stupid, worthless, thumbtwittiling 2018 bike thread.
I'm sick of all the nit-wit 2018 non-Dyna threads, what are we up to now, 50 million of them or so, I wish the mods would just start deleting them

Op, how's 'bout that pic of your bike, let's oogle it

Don't mind if I do. This is from a few weeks back. Thanks to Cvaria I've replaced the ham can AC cover. No pic of that yet.

Excellent, thanks for sharing! I'm with you on the stock football type cover but I find they have worth.

I always liked this mod. Exposed, but not exposed to rain if at rest... I also always liked the stock football. I had one pc'd black with a silver ring on my '15 Low Rider. Do I have a photo?

Half the time I have the rain sock over the filter but more importantly, when I wash the bike I remove the cover and rap about three plastic groceries bags over the filter/back of throttle body held on with rubber bands.

The leading edge and top of the cover are there to block most stuff when in operation and I just removed the cutaway parts for my knee to clear, works perfectly.
